Barcelona has been unanimously re-admitted to the European Football Clubs (EFC) organization after formally cutting ties with the European Super League project. The LaLiga club announced this on Friday, following their official withdrawal from the Super League last week.

The EFC, which represents over 800 clubs across Europe, plays a key role in shaping decisions on competitions, match calendars, financial frameworks, transfer regulations, and commercial policy. Barcelona's re-admission is seen as a positive step, with the club reaffirming its commitment to working with fellow European clubs for the benefit of football and its supporters.

Barcelona's withdrawal from the Super League left Real Madrid as the sole remaining advocate for the breakaway competition. However, Real Madrid reached an agreement with UEFA earlier this week to put their bitter legal feud to bed.

Barcelona now has a chance to focus on their La Liga match against Girona on Monday, with the match kicking off at 9 PM WAT at Estadi Montilivi.
